Update 2022:

The very bottom has my original review from a few years ago. The last few years I have come back once or twice a year thinking mild glutening was just a fluke etc. Everytime I left I said I would stop going.

Then last night we decided to go in for our wedding anniversary dinner because I'm celiac but also vegetarian and it's limited options. We always feel like we paid a bit to much but we eat out rarely so no big deal for a good mean

I like the food usually.

The pita tasted different but that was fine, the portions (of Baba ghanouj were a tad smaller than I remember (the main had lots). Within a few minutes in to my main I started to feel bloated, it had been so long since I was glutened I just thought I was very full. Then it happened, the most severe case of "blotching" I have had in years (the tell tale sign of gluten for me).

I've been sick ever since, my head is killing me, my stomach is sore, bloated and in pain and I have brain fog like I haven't before. It's been so long since I have been glutened I forgot the pain.

I would absolutely like to say the staff is lovely, I never complain to them. They truly are very nice and I understand the risk I took by eating out.

Fantastic local business. Tons and I mean TONS of GF options (as well as vegan and vegetarian). They have GF pita bread and a peanut butter fudge brownie cheesecake that is fantastic! VERY accommodating and the nicest staff. A++
